TAIPEI, Taiwan, Dec. 18 (UPI) -- A Taiwan motorcycle technician admitted to murder and said he ate parts of his victim's body, but police said they had found no evidence of cannibalism.
"We are quite sure that he is the murderer. But there is no evidence to prove that he had eaten parts of the victim's body as he had confessed," Chen Juei-tien, commissioner of the Taichung County Police Department, told the Taipei Times.
Police said a statement by 20-year-old witness Kwang Teh-chiang, an intern of the suspect, was the key to solving the murder of 28-year-old insurance agent Shih Chin-chi
The 39-year-old suspect, Chen Chin-huo, allegedly murdered Shih and chopped her body into eight pieces on Dec. 7. He allegedly dumped the body parts into the water tank of his townhouse, where he also runs a motorcycle shop.
According to Kwang's statement, Chen Chin-huo was upset about a high insurance quote.
